This summer, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported that 73.9% of Americans who get their water from municipal systems now benefit from optimal fluoridation. This brings the number of Americans receiving optimally fluoridated water to an all-time high of approximately 204 million people. The Foundation joins the thousands of individuals – such as those NYSDA members who attended the NYSDF Fluoridation Symposium - and organizations such as NYSDA and the ADA who continue to work toward the day when the customers of every community water system enjoy the benefits of optimal fluoridation.
